Study animals (amplification targeting) received unlabeled antibody 51 h earlier and unlabeled polymer 21 h earlier (Fig. 1). Control I animals did not receive antibody. Control II animals received neither antibody nor polymer.
↵* Student t test for significance, P < 0.05 (statistically significant values are underlined).
